In this cyberworld of what seems like a million different search engines, our company has just released a cool new online home search!
What is so cool about this MLS home search is that each time you open the search window the map populates with dots for all properties currently listed for sale. As you narrow your search by selecting price and other criteria, including foreclosures and open houses, the dots that don't fit your criteria disappear and you can continue to narrow your search without going to another search screen. Not only can you search for waterfront properties…you can also search for golf properties! (Be sure to have your browser window opened to maximum size to see all the choices.)
Use the scroll bar on the left and just move the map around in the property search window to get to the area where you want to search…then keep clicking on the area where you want to zoom in until you see arrows on the dots. Click on the arrow for property details on the right…again without ever leaving your original search and map…this means no more back clicking to get back to where you were!! You can also select properties to compare.
This online search tool is still in beta testing so if you see things you don't like or that don't appear to work, let me know…this is a great time to give your feedback!! It pulls in all MLS listings in the Twin Cities and extended Minnesota areas, western Wisconsin, Minnesota lakes area, Duluth/Superior…over 60,000 active listings. It's easier to search for lakes area properties here than it is for us Realtors searching in the MLS system!
